Now I'm not sure of the full technicalities but I think legally that means that New Japan owns AXS now, right?

I was very surprised when I found that out in 1998, but that was because the PC Engine was a name that existed solely in magazines (or specifically a cheatbook I got free with a magazine one time)

Master System 2 with built in Alex the Kid in Miracle World, later my sister's boyfriend showed up with a blank Sega Cartridge and said,"I have no idea what's on this?" so we plugged it in and it was Sonic the Hedgehog!

Grew up with a Mega Drive v. 2 and a Super Famicom. I didn't even realise it was called "Genesis" for years.

Mind you, I didn't even own any consoles until I got a PS4 and a Switch.

What really blew my mind is that the American SNES looks like poo poo compared to the PAL Super NES.

Bummed i'm out of town for WK on the weekend, I love how watchable NJPW is all the time.

Just googled it, and the PAL Super NES is the Super Family Computer, only with "Super Famicom" replaced with the Super NES branding. The American one is incredibly blocky, and I remember being surprised by how ugly the American one looked compared to my sleek and beautiful Super Famicom.

My Master system only had Snail Maze built in :(

But my first console was the Intellvision and lol those controllers but it doesn't deserve it's current fate of having it's name associated with Tommy Tallarico :(

Anyway who's ready to watch Kenoh explode this weekend and try to kick Naito's head off!

That's what PAL cartridges look like too. Surely it's the same in America right? Right? :ohdear:

the console in the other markets did look better wonder they changed it


design of the cartridge was a little different but not that radical of a change. did the notches change on the ones in the rest of the world as well a few years in?

It's very funny because you can tell Nintendo of America were scared people wouldn't recognise it if it didn't look more like the NES.

neither really looked like the nes at the time of the snes release tho. the top loader nes that looked like the us snes only came later






from what i've read they basically wanted it to look like a vcr as video game consoles had a bad rep due to the early 80s crash

SatoshiMiwa

The SNES is such a weird design as they didn't need to change the look as gaming rebounded from the 80's crash and the look itself wasn't that great. But it's still not the worst US console redesign that is the Turbografix 16 and it's wasted space. The PC Engine is so much smaller and better looking

The SNES is much more beautiful in America but people are scared of the color purple (toxic masculinity.) The same thing happened with the Gamecube.

SNES is the better color scheme but the Famicom has a much better body design. A synthesis of the two would be beautiful
